Make a priority of recognition

Your organization probably
has a mission statement that
defines priorities, and you
may even have a team
mission statement that further
sets out your goals. But do
you have a mission statement
for recognition? Talk to
employees about what would
make them feel valued, and
then create a recognition
mission statement based on
their responses. Post it
prominently to demonstrate
your commitment to appreciating
workers—and to
remind yourself to make that
pledge a reality.
